Your body

[zen_magick]

Sweet, someone just asked me permission to let the PSU Queer Resource Center send it to students who might be interested.

Nicely written Nigel.  As someone who identifies as a Pan-sexual I think that it works quite well within queer theory, etc.  Keep up the good work!!

Religion is, by nature, exempt from the citation rule.

Tell that to the Talmudic Jews.

Citing one's own irrational beliefs is circular, so it doesn't count.

Give me the email to a Jewish organization and I shall send an email which reads:

"Your religious beliefs "

Naturally, I shall share any response.

When I get a reply, I'll post it here.

HOLY Mecheieh, , CAIN that made my nacht!

Here's the thing. One can choose to view life from any angle, I choose to view life from a different angle than you.

How is it different?

I deliberately left out the spiritual aspect, because I felt that it was irrelevant to my point.

By the idea that I am a spiritual being having a human experience rather than the other way around.

Enjoy yuor human experience.

The OP is mired in Cartesian duality and ego-identification.   I could barely keep my eyes open.

Look at the assumptions in the premise:

So the deal is, the first thing that happens when you arrive is you get dumped into a yellowish or brownish meat-bag filled with red and white.

"When you arrive?"  Who is "you?"  Where is "you" arriving from?  For that matter, where is "you" arriving to?

"You" must be separate from the body, because "you" is dumped into a "meat-bag."  Meat-bag is clearly idiomatic Jerkass for the body.

Does "the first thing that happens when you arrive" mean that the sequence of events is

• "You" Arrives From (???) to (???)
• "You" is abruptly dropped or falls into A Body

That would seem to imply that wherever "you" arrive to is above the body you will be dropped or fall into.

I don't really care.  You started off with the Cartesian flaw, you can't get anywhere once you allow that.  Once you embrace Cartesianism, you're talking about religion.  I can consult my own pineal gland, thank you very much.

Though I really enjoy the use of the word dumped.  That opening line evokes images of angels swooping down from Heaven and crapping souls into little babies.

Well gosh, I guess no one should ever use metaphorical or figurative language to make a point!
